Town Hall Meeting/Legislative Update with Rep. Allen & Sen. Hayden (62-B)

Dear Kingfield Neighbors,

Join Rep. Susan Allen, Senator Jeff Hayden and Rep. Karen Clark for a Town Hall Meeting. The 2017 legislative session began on January 3rd, with Republicans now in control of both chambers. Please join them to ask questions and gain insights and help them organize for the issues you care about, as well as other issues likely to arise.

It is important for them to hear directly from you, and it helps guide their decisions at the State Capitol.

Coffee and juice will be served, and attendees are welcome to come and go as you please.

Kingfield Empty Bowls Planning Team Meeting

Come join us for last minute planning for Kingfield’s largest event of the year, Kingfield Empty Bowls! This communal soup supper is organized and hosted by KFNA as a fundraiser for Nicollet Square located in Kingfield neighborhood, a project of Beacon Interfaith Housing and home to 42 youth that have experienced long term homelessness before being welcomed to our neighborhood.

We will be prepping for our final community paint-a-bowl event, figuring out volunteer needs, and analyzing event needs including food and pottery. We are still seeking donations of pottery—if you are a potter, or know one, and have 1-100 ceramic bowls to deliver please contact us, we really need your support and are willing to pick-up donations if needed!

Questions? Contact KFNA at .

Paint-a-Bowl for Kingfield’s 2017 Empty Bowls!

Come paint-a-bowl at the MLK Park for Kingfield’s February 9th Empty Bowl’s event. We will be painting some of the 225 bowls created at the Throwdown hosted by Uptown Clay. This is a free activity for anyone that would like to paint a bowl; we do ask that kids under twelve years old participate with a parent. Bowls will be glazed and then used at the Kingfield Empty Bowls fundraiser for Nicollet Square, a 42-unit housing complex in Kingfield for youth ages 18-22 that have experienced long-term homelessness.

Ceramic artists can drop off their already made bowls to donate to this event (and at the paint another while you do so) on this day too. If you would like us to arrange to pick up a donation please contact KFNA’s Executive Director at or 612.823.5980.
